Özelleştirmenin Çöp Toplama Üzerine Etkisi: Teorik ve Ampirik Çalişmalarin Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Geride kalan son yıllar içerisinde, özelleştirmenin, maliyetlerin düşürülmesi ve kalitenin artırılması olarak ifade edilebilecek olan amaçlarını gerçekleştirip gerçekleştiremediği üzerinde dikkate değer bir tartışma söz konusudur. Bu makalenin amacı, özelleştirmeyi destekleyen teorileri sunmaktır. Akabinde, çöp toplama ile ilgili ampirik literatürü, teorilerin gerçeği yansıtıp yansıtmadğını anlamak için analiz eder. Makale, her ne kadar teorik açıklamalar özelleştirmeden yana olsa da, ampirik çalışmalar özelleştirmenin belediyelerin çöp toplama maliyetini düşürüp düşürmediği hususunda belirsiz olduğu sonucunu ortaya koyar.

Anahtar Kelimeler

Impact of Privatisation on Refuse Collection: Review of Theoretical and Empirical Studies

Öz

Over the last few decades, there has been a considerable discussion on the issue of whether privatization achieves its main aims which might be stated as cost-saving and quality improvement. This paper aims to present the theoretical approaches that are in favor of privatization. Then analyze the existing empirical studies from refuse collection literature to acknowledge to what extense these theories are consistent. Paper concludes that although theoretical explanations are in favor of privatization, empirical evidence is ambiguous whether privatization enables municipalities to decrease cost.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Privatisation, complete contract, competition, refuse collection.
